Robotics

Tele-presence robots encourage learner engagement and facilitate precision incrementation of content.

Robot adoption for use in education varies in countries around the world but has been seen as a successful alternative as a guide to learning. The novelty of the interaction motivates and stimulates learners. The specific recording and assessment qualities of the machines allow for individual attention t paid to the learners and what their next best challenge might be.After school,or home schooling tutors of the robotic achieve huge benefits to the learner in programs tailored specifically to the stage of learning of the individual.

The beauty of a telepresent robot is that it can provide actual human intelligence and understanding in rural or impoverished areas that find it difficult to sustain a teacher. Tele presence also allows for actual experts in the field to be virtually present over a vast range of physical distance. Robot teachers are in the future for younger learners whereas learning about robots and how to create them is the future for higher education learners.
